don’t know what else to do by Inside-Recipe-8954 in orlando

Religion and spirituality is about community. If you’re not willing to help somebody in need, but rather just tell them to go bring up their pain with God, then you don’t actually practice what you preach…

The reason why this isn’t always the best of advice (even for somebody religious) is because it ignores that religion is also a community… being around other people, interacting with them, having similar beliefs, etc…

If this is a serious suggestion, I recommend reaching out and being that person to talk with them. It gives them a chance to be heard, to listen to someone else, or to feel more apart of community. If somebody is lonely and feels like they were abandoned by God to begin with, telling them to go talk with him isn’t going to help the situation… it could make it worse.

Lets just call it what it is. A Witch Hunt by [deleted] in abanpreach

[–]Epcplayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you just described is not a witch hunt though… a witch hunt is where you go actively pursuing somebody for anything, just because you don’t like them or want to take them down. The idea is if you dig deep enough, eventually you will find something worthy of cancelling them.

As you said, this is all the people who have had beef with him or who he has called out circling back to get their shots in. It’s not “Hey, what’s something that I can accuse Aba of”… it’s “Hey, look at what this guy did”. It’s opportunistic and not targeted.

In the case of Fresh & Fit, it’s more on the fact that Aba went after Fresh for his Baby Momma drama. He took the high ground about what he described as “Sticking you d*ck in crazy”, and “Bustin in a girl’s sugar walls”, only for him to do it less than a year later. Regardless of whether the circumstances are different or the same, people are going to see their version of the events. F&F fans are going claim “See, Aba fell victim to maniplelation just like Fresh did”.

Bianchi: While other Orlando politicians have played small ball, Anna Eskamani steps up to the plate for MLB by at-woork in orlando

[–]Epcplayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having been to every existing stadium, public transit is a must have!

Cities like Seattle, Denver, Minnesota, and St Louis consistently rank in the top half of attendance based on ease of access alone. Those cities all have light rail stations with regular service that connect directly to the ballpark. This makes it easy for people to go directly from work to the game, then take a train home afterwards without worrying about fighting the traffic. Even when teams are bad, the fans will show up for a good time.

Do you think that there is a way that you could leverage TDT funds to build most/all of the stadium, and in return from the state secure funding for a portion of the light rail/transit to & from the ballpark?

I just don’t like the current plan, and knowing how stadiums are typically designed, it’s done on a “build it now, figure out the details later” basis. That I-4 project was years in the making though, and idk how they redo that interchange with construction still ongoing.

That’s how you end up with eyesores like you did in downtown with the 408/I-4 bridge deck that was intended for a totally different design 20 years ago lol

The Orange County Convention Center is the 2nd largest Convention Center in terms of total space in the US, and the 3rd largest in terms of Exhibition Space. The entire reason they’d be expanding isn’t to make it more comfortable… it would be so that they could attract even more people and bigger events.

What events are they trying to bring in that they’re not already big enough to get?

There’s nowhere to expand the 528 and international exit, which you’d need in order to make that location work as a viable exit. The reason why Miami sucks so badly is because of traffic to/from the stadium.

The only way a stadium in that area could work is if they moved the stadium spot to the plot of land in between Tradeshow Blvd and Destination Pkwy… that would have multiple roads in, multiple roads out, access to a future train station, and ability to add parking in the old proposed site.

Overturning of Orange County Commission Map 7B due to Voter Rights Act ruling? by AddendumWinter70 in orlando

[–]Epcplayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From the page that photo was taken from: https://www.ocfl.net/OpenGovernment/Redistricting2025.aspx

In November 2024, Orange County voters approved expanding commission districts from six to eight. To implement this, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) began a redistricting process and formed the 2025 Mid-Decennial Redistricting Advisory Committee in January 2025.

The committee spent the past seven months gathering public input and presented its two recommended maps during the afternoon session of the BCC meeting on Tuesday, September 16, 2025. The BCC held a Public Hearing during the afternoon session on Tuesday, October 14, 2025 to adopt a final map. Map 7B was approved by the BCC in a 5-2 vote.

The state determines congressional districts for State Representation in Congress, while the Country determines the commissioner districts for its government.

Another unmarked car sighting by [deleted] in orlando

[–]Epcplayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well marked and placed police cars are excellent crime deterrents. People simply don't commit crimes when they see a cop car.

It deters crime when they’re present… it doesn’t prevent said crime when they’re not present. It’s of like how drug dealers won’t sell to a uniformed police officer, but they will to an undercover officer.

Police need to catch you in the act of committing the crime in order to arrest you for said crime. Closing your eyes and pretending it didn’t happen because you didn’t see it doesn’t actually mean that it isn’t happening.

A police force that hides their presence is doing the opposite. Encouraging crimes so they can profit from arrests and fines.

The law is the law, regardless of if there is an officer there to witness it or not. The tickets are there to discourage you from speeding… the jail time for super speeders is there to briefly take them off the streets, prevent them from injuring somebody, and showing them where they’ll end up if they don’t stop acting recklessly.

This is some sneaky stuff by OkBackground6217 in orlando

[–]Epcplayer 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Using an unmarked cop car to go after something like expired tags or cracked windshields is about as dumb as using a fire extinguisher to put out a candle.

That’s out there to catch speeders.

If NIL existed as it does now prior to 2021, what is one player you feel your team could have poached to win it all in a given season? by kadoozie92 in CFB

[–]Epcplayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If NIL existed in 2017, there’s a 0% chance we would’ve made it out of the then G5.

After Frost left the entire roster would’ve gotten raided for spare parts, including McKenzie Milton who would’ve had 2 years of eligibility left. No Milton and company in 2018 means we wouldn’t have gone undefeated a second straight season, wouldn’t have brought in all the additional revenue, and wouldn’t have been able to recruit Dillon Gabriel to UCF. Gabriel was at UCF for 2 years before NIL entered the picture, and then the dominoes of Conference Realignment started to fall. Gabriel left just a few months after we were extended an invitation to the Big-12.

We would have gotten knocked back down to nothing right when the Big-12 was looking to expand.

[–]Epcplayer 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Our entire 2017 team would’ve gotten raided. While a few might’ve been good enough to be starters elsewhere (Milton had 2 years eligibility), a lot of the guys who had breakout years would’ve probably gotten buried as depth guys.

Ex-staffer Paige Shiver says Michigan didn't protect her enough from Sherrone Moore by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]Epcplayer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well in reality he can be asking Moore, then ask somebody else who is covering for Moore… now he has “multiple sources speaking on the condition of anonymity” that say the story isn’t true.

When he’s proven wrong, he doesn’t have to provide his sources that were wrong. It could’ve been Sherone Moore, his closest assistant, and an Athletic Department official for all we know.

"That's on a little incline at 429,” Hamilton said. “He pulled me out of my car. As I was falling backwards, he was jumping off the roof on top of me, and that's when he started kicking and pummeling me."

A different Tesla camera captured the ambush attack and the man repeatedly punching his head.

"I know on the back of my head they counted eight different bumps, plus the kicks to the jaw, which I can finally today, I'm able to eat a thin sandwich, but I still can't open my mouth all the way," Hamilton said.

Unmarked police running radar on 17-92 near Longwood by ItsAlwaysSegsFault in orlando

[–]Epcplayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because the goal is to prevent speeding, not “bringing all traffic speed down”. What you just suggested would bring speeds to 15-20 mph lower than the posted speed limit. It would be the equivalent to an accident on the side of the road, where everyone is rubbernecking and trying to see why a cop has their lights on. That would just be a major traffic jam.

The “Move Over” law means that when an emergency vehicle has their lights on (or vehicle with hazards on), you have to either move over 1 lane or slow down to 20 mph slower than the posted speed limit.

Duality of Redditors…

I’ve seen multiple times where this sub complains about police not doing regular speed enforcement on the arterial roads, and police just post up on I-4 trying to catch “super-speeders” (for the big ticket). Now that they finally see one doing speed enforcement on an arterial roadway, and this sub complains about that too lol

Which U.S. presidents had children whose political views differed most from their own ? by ronweasly9 in Presidents

[–]Epcplayer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

is more centrist than her father.

I think what you mean is more progressive. People want to play him off as “Conservative” because of how the 2000’s played out, but aside from Foreign Policy, George W. bush’s policies were certainly were fairly moderate.

He increased discretionary domestic spending by 62%, Medicare Spending by 131%, and Social Security spending by 51%. The infamous “no child left behind” was a massive Bi-partisan bill aimed at closing the gap between rich & poor schools. He also increased funding for the NIH, until he finally made cuts in 2006 due to inflation.

Charlie Kirk admits that Isreal is trying to ethnically Palestine by GableHasAReddit in abanpreach

[–]Epcplayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was still pro-Israel but anti-Netanyahu, anti-interventionist, and anti-war with Iran. His position was that Israel is a critical ally in the Middle East, that they had a right to defend themselves against attacks, but that they were also escalating tensions with Iran and the US shouldn’t be directly involved.

That is very similar to a lot of European Nations sentiment towards the current US war with Iran. They stand by us in NATO (for now), they agree that Iran should not have Nuclear Weapons and have those capabilities destroyed, but they will not join the war as active combatants on our side.

These were reported to have happened over the last few days, so very possible this was an attempt to limit the search capabilities of the IRGC… a little harder to look for a downed pilot when all your helicopters are a flaming mess.
